i got some problem... need your help
i have set its password to "988777" and it was working fine...
just 1 hour ago, i tried to open an image and set it as todays wallpaper, as i clicked (tapped) on
menu, my PDA got restarted, now its asking for password to unlock, when I enter "988777" it says
incorrect password and starts a countdown which is always double of previous count down. for
example this time it was 00:08:10, next time it would be 00:16:20.
Please help me !
Best Regards,
Farhan Sh.
what happens when u let countdown finish? U are norally allows 8 tries.... or have you tried so many times this is now coming up.
My lock screen brings up the chance to reset password, but my device is connected to works server, so yours might not give u this option.
you on stock rom?

That code is your SIMcards PIN-code, not the phone's unlock code

Hi all,
I had set my XDA orbit -2 a simple numeric password every time i enter .the last password was set a month ago before i left to vacation ( out of country). when i came back and wanted to use the phone, it did ask for password as usual. but when i tried to enter the password which i had reset before and it doesnt allow me, saying incorrect password ( i forgot my password in short).
I tried several times , after few times, a message is displayed that i had entered incorrect password for too many times and there is a time lag which doubles up every time i enter an incorrect password. currently it had set to 4 hrs 38 minutes .
i.e i can enter the password once in 4 hrs 38 minutes and if i enter it wrong then it doubles up to 9hrs 26 minutes and so on ....
also the time clock stops automatically if the screen becomes black.
I did try to reset by pressing the button but it comes back to the screen with the time ticking backwards
PLEASE HELP ME TO FIND A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM
Thanks for going through my long post

SADLY I WAS FORCED TO HARD RESET SO PLEASE DON'T ANSWER THIS NOW.
I have installed Sone WM6.5, most recent built ( thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433808 ). I have set the lock using a simple 4 digit password, but the battery died on my way home tonight (typically in the floods!).
I got home and charged the battery, but I cannot unlock the phone. I can slide the slider to unlock, enter the 4 characters (2233, so it isn't as if I have forgotten it!) the 4 characters are shown at the top as white circles, so it has accepted the input, but if I press the unlock/contacts/mail buttons, they depress (i.e. acknowledge they have been pressed) but nothing happens. If I put an incorrect password in, nothing either - It doesn't tell me that I've entered the password incorrectly!
Is there anything I can do without having to hard reset?
Thanks in advance.
Aubs
P.S. I have also posted this in the SONE thread HERE in the Diamond > Diamond ROM development forum as I am desparate to get it sorted - So if I get a reply on there first, I'll let this thread know. Hope this isn't against the board rules
Hey there .. any cure for this problem ???

I wonder if this is getting more common? I appreciate that only 3 people affected so far doesn't raise it to pandemic levels yet!!

I am in, you can add me to the list of those affected by the same problem.
same here, just started this morning...i put in the correct password, but unlock icon doesnt work....dont want to hard reset because the messages i need but oh well
Edit: it works now--either two solutions. 1st a screen popped up saying i entered the password incorrectly too many times and i had to enter what i was told to enter on the screen OR 2nd, it couldve been because i entered my original password in landscape mode...hope this helps u all with the problem
I was able to resolve this problem, but I'm not sure the correct solution and I'm not ready to try again!
First the symptoms are exactly the same:
- I was talking in the phone till the battery died, when I recharged the battery and tried to unlock the unlock-key get pressed but doesn't work.
Second I found this thread by google, and also found many other results, the usual solution was to hard-reset ... but my problem was that I cannot reset since my firmware is not original and I don't have any firmwares on any SD-cards ...
Third, again I'm not sure the correct answer but here is what I can tell:
- My phone is iPAQ 910c
- I typed the pin
- I then typed on the letter "z"
- I then typed on "Fn + z" (Which is the character "*" ...)
- I repeatedly pressed on "z"
- I pressed enter many times and the right-arrow ">" many times
- I pressed on "z" again
- I was a bit nervous so I think I pressed on those two keys many many times till finally I found the device unlocked so I'm finally happy
Note:
- The idea of pressing on "*" come from this link: http://www.fixya.com/support/t1457097-unlock_samsung_i780_phone_soft_touch
I got it after many google searches and it worked for me too!
I'm also not able to unlock... Same symptoms : Unlock icons doesn't work, either pin is correct or not.
It happens just after connecting my HD to my new Win7 laptop using Windows Mobile Device Center.
Synchronization was complete and one hour later I had to soft reset because of display problems.
I still can access my Touch HD folders by Windows Mobile Device Center and synchronize it, but i can't unlock it...
Strange.
I have the same problem, but i cant even do a hard reset because my keys are locked, any solution?
I have been looking around the forum and the register editor to find any solution for my problem, which is:
Everytime my phone goes to stand by and I turn the screen back on and unlock it, it shows manila's home (today screen), and i want it to show the last window or program I was using.
For example using G-remote, I'm controlling my PC and I leave it for a while.. it locks by itself after some time and goes to stand by, so when I unlock it I have to open G-remote again from the taskbar, I want to change that but what butters me the most is that G-remote sometimes fails connecting after that, something that didnt happen if it opened right again from the lockscreen.
Please help me..
Things ive been noticing:
-The today timeout option doesnt work, no matter if it is disabled or set with a very long time, it always brings me back to the today screen
-If i lock the screen manually (start menu->lock) this doesn't happen, it only happens if i let it or make it go to stand by
-There is another thread about something like this on a touch pro but a lil bit different, my device goes to today screen even if touchflo is disabled, the one on the other thread didn't, so it's a windows registry issue of today's timeout.. i guess...
I know i wasn't the only one with this problem so i'm going to post the fix here:
I installed the Smartlock 2.0F and disabled the Autodevicelockenable (0).
So here's the link to the thread with the cab that fixed it and i hope people with this problem find this or that post.
Hi There,
Im not able to login to my phone .. I have set it up to lock if not use for 2 minutes but now when its locked it says in the screen to tap or slide.. i slide and then enter my 4 digits number and press the unlock button nothing happen , earlier if i enter a wrong password it used to popup a message for wrong entered password .. is there a way to get into my phone ...
You will most likely have to hard reset. I had the same problem with my TD2. The issue is discussed here somewhere, but they had no luck solving it.
It doesn't say if you had it wrong because you have entered the wrong password too many times. At least that is my theory.
i have a problem..
my phone was locked out by my daughter. i tried to unlock it but the phone was having none of it.
i looked on this site an it suggested i could try this as follows -
hold volume down, Home button, on switch and allow it to download ODIN
it has been doing this for about 30 minutes now
can anyone help as i havent got a clue what to do?

Hi mate, when you say 'locked out' do you mean a password or pattern at the lock screen, a SIM (network) lock, or a PUK/security lockout?
The more info you can give, the more I can help you
apoliges
pattern lock out.

No worries
First, try this. It's for the AT&T GS2, but may work on yours too.
Alternatively, you could have a go at this method.
There may be others too. That came from just a quick Google search. The final alternative would be to factory reset the phone, but you will lose all your photos etc. from the phone
Thats the problem its gone past the pattern stage now its asking me to enter my email and password,
which i have done many times now and still doesnt change...
i will do factory reset as a last resort.
thankyou

Is it possible your daughter changed it to her email/password? Just a thought
If not, a factory reset will get you out of trouble, although it's not ideal.
Best of luck with it, let me know if you need anything further
all my contacts etc are saved on the sim and the memory card.
how do i do a factory reset?
Are you running a custom.recovery, like CWM?
